Visual Arts Center Unveils HEARTLAND HORIZONS Exhibition Featuring 30 Local And Regional Artists

The Washington Pavilion's Visual Arts Center will present “Heartland Horizons,” a new exhibition now open in the Bates Trimble Gallery.

Showcasing 30 talented artists from across the region, this exhibition explores the rich and dynamic essence of the Heartland — not just as a geographic region but as a blend of values, traditions and stories that define its spirit.

“The Heartland is more than just a collection of states. It's a shared identity, a vibrant community and a living history,” says Jana Anderson, Lead Curator of the Visual Arts Center. “Through an open call for art, we connected with diverse artists whose works reflect the landscapes, people, history and aspirations of this region. With over 90 submissions, this exhibition showcases the amazing talents of local creators as well as artists from nearby states like Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois and Minnesota!”
